The 10K race calendar for Canada: 439 races in 2026 and 2027, with dates, start locations and registration links. The 10K is the distance most Canadian runners race first and keep coming back to: a serious effort without the training load of a half marathon, and a fixture of nearly every race weekend from Victoria to St. John's. The season runs from the April thaw to the first snow, with the biggest 10Ks landing in spring and fall. Filter the list below by date or by place, or work through the calendar month by month.

What is in this calendar
Every race listed here has a 10K on the program, mostly on the road, sometimes on park trails or a waterfront path. In Canada the 10K rarely stands alone: it is usually one of several distances at a race weekend, next to a 5K, a half marathon or a full marathon, and the race page shows the whole lineup with start times and a registration link. Looking for an 8K or a 15K instead? Set the distance slider at the top of the page a little wider and the list grows. Certified courses are the norm at the larger races, which matters if you are chasing a personal best or a spot at a provincial championship.
Well-known 10Ks
The Vancouver Sun Run in April is the largest 10K in the country and one of the largest anywhere, with tens of thousands of runners crossing the Burrard Bridge on a Sunday morning. The Ottawa 10K, run on the Saturday evening of Ottawa Race Weekend in late May, brings an international field to the capital. Calgary Marathon weekend, also in late May, opens with a 10K on the Saturday before its half and full marathon, and the Montreal marathon weekend in the fall does the same. These races fill early, so register as soon as entries open.
Racing the 10K across the seasons
Canadian 10Ks follow the weather. April and May bring the first big city races once the roads are clear, June and July fill with evening and small-town events, and the crisp weekends of September and October are prime time for a fast one. Winter racing does not stop entirely: a few hardy 10Ks brave January and February, and the race page will tell you whether to expect packed snow underfoot.
